    No sure about the football and no fan of BNP Chelsea but I think Conte will be a great watch this season.

    Watching Man City v Arsenal, Joe Hart has been utter *, don't know why he is so highly rated , very average keeper in my opinion

    I thought they'd really struggle but the pairing of Vardy and Musa looks devestating.

    That being said, how do they cope with the loss of Kante and Champions League football?

    I think they'll struggle for top 6 personally.

    I've went for Liverpool. I think they'll come into this league campaign under the radar as everyone wanks themselves silly over Mourinho & Pep.

    Klopp is the man.

    I enjoy the title race and stories made up but the 0-0 and 1-0s are * and enjoy watching scottish football more. That being said, can't look passed man utd. Zlatan doesn't do 2nd.

    I think Manchester City will win it this year. Chelsea aren't strong enough, United have signed Bailly who looks a bomb scare and Pogba is massively overrated. Zlatan is a great but older player. Liverpool are still in decline. The rare freak show that was Leicester City is now gone. City have the best manager and best squad.

    Chelsea have the best manager and the least amount of games throughout the season compared to their rivals.

    Why does everyone think this pep is the best manager? He's managed 2 teams that are near enough sure things in the league. Wrecked bayerns game imo. They was the most devistating team out there and turned into a passy passy outfit that will fail in the epl. Hopefully he's 5th.

    I'll say City. Mourinho will need a season to adapt at United like he did when he came back to Chelsea, but he'll finish in the CL places. Chelsea and Liverpool will make up the rest of the top 4. Can really see Arsenal coming outside the CL places, they've signed Xhaka but that's it and the other teams have improved with better players and managers whereas they've pretty much stayed the same. Same with Spurs, think the likes of Kane, Alli, Alderweireld won't be able to keep up the same form they had last season and they'll finish outside the CL places.

    West Ham, Leicester and Southampton to be around the Europa League spots.

    He is the best in the EPL as far as I am concerned. How are Barcelona a sure thing? Real Madrid and Atletico have been pretty decent in recent years. And the German league is anything but easy to win. I think Conte is a decent manager but yet to match Pep G's record. Mourinho is on a down slope. And Wenger should be in a retirement home.

    Nobody's arguing with wenger tbh :56: although arsenal will find themselves out of top 4 once he's gone for a couple years.
    I suppose we will see this year with pep although I think he'll be a massive failure.
